I'm Oh, it's so good to see all of you today in church.

I want to say a big hello to all of our campuses that are watching.

We are one church, 23 locations all across our region.

I always consider the greatest honor to bring all that we are

or to go to nursing homes, or mow lawns and fix roof, whatever it is.

We do a lot of different serve projects throughout our communities.
